cream butter, icing and vailla sugar. Gradually add flour, salt and sour cream and work to a smooth dough. chill about an hour. roll out to approx 3mm thick between baking foil ( I just chilled dough for about 20 min and rolled it out on floured surface) cut out cookies, place on parchment paper on cookie sheet and bake at 350 until golden brown.
Eat straight off the cookie sheet with left hand while sprinkling decorations alteratley into your mouth with your right hand. Do not stop up till all gone. Milk does make a nice addition.
if you do not have vanilla sugar, just use some liquid vanilla flavor instead with a little extra sugar...depending on how you want to decorate the cookies, it might be a good idea to omit the extra sugar.
Spend the rest of the evening in disgust that it is even possible to eat that many cookies all at once!
NOTE: make your own vanilla sugar. fill a tall thin glass bottle with sugar, add a vanilla bean, give it a couple months with the lid closed. Just keep adding sugar as you use it. Somehow, it just tastes different than liquid vanilla and doesn't add that unwanted moisture to your german recipes. CU
